After having a rather acrimonious break-up of my relationship, I was feeling lonely. I guess you get used to having someone with you day and night. I've always wanted a bird; I had birds as a child; a parakeet, canary, and a pair of finches named Drs. Nip and Tuck. So I thought since I've taken care of birds in the past I'd like to get a female cockatiel. I think they are beautiful birds and can be very loving and funny. But since I've read the thread on pets and how they can affect ptsd, I'm not so sure now. I realize the posts were about dogs and cats, and everyone has different experiences with owing a pet in relation to their specific ptsd. But, in general, I just want to know if anyone has ever owned a bird and how it affected their ptsd. I don't want to get a bird only to discover it's too much for me. Thanx everyone .
